All Quiet Now ...

SUSAN: Today we harvested Buster and 46. Why? Several reasons: Since Two-Spot and Buster cannot get along (as demonstrated in an earlier post), we can't have these two roosters together. Buster is brother to 15 hens, and even though we live in North Carolina, we're not keen to have him mate with his sisters. 46 had a great haircut for a Rock Star Rooster; but, enjoyed fighting everyone (especially us!) and was not very successful with the ladies (except for the birth of Two Spot). And, we need to have the "rooster section" of the coop available for Solo, Sunshine, and our 37 new chicks. So, we did it, and the farm is so quiet! Apparently Two Spot is not as vocal as 46 (well, who could be?) or Buster, so it's really quiet on the farm.

Immediately, we moved Solo to the (now) "adolescent section" of the coop so that she could go outside for the first time and also not step on any of the little chicks. She's a bit out of sorts in the new environment, and spent most of her outside time actually underneath the coop ... but, she'll settle-in to her new home soon.
